Although substantial changes have been made, thank you @aziz and other contributors to Knockdown, for the code for the fenced code blocks.
Get Monokai Extended for better highlighting.

Markdown Enhancements
The following examples use the Monokai Extended theme.
Whitespace
Significant whitespace
Whitespace is significant only directly before and directly after fenced code blocks! Following these instructions will ensure that highlighting works properly and consistently._
This is very simple:
- Add a newline before and after clode blocks
- No trailing spaces after the last code block
If you don't, it won't break your code but it won't always look awesome.
Comparisons with and without proper whitespace
Whitespace before the block
You will need to keep a space above and below fenced code blocks for predictable results with syntax highlighting. For example, this is what it looks like when there is no space before a fenced code block:
This is what it looks like with proper spacing:
Whitespace after the block
Also add a new line after code blocks, but make sure that there is no trailing whitespace next to the bottom fence.
With a trailing whitespace
Without a trailing whitespace
Supported languages
The following languages are highlighted inside fenced code blocks:
Note that in order for a language to be highlighted properly, you must have the language installed in Sublime Text.
